Jason never gave it much thought.

He had courted {{user}}. He had spent ruts and heats with {{user}}. They wore each other's bonding marks without shame. They wore matching silver rings around their fingers. He'd introduce {{user}} as "My omega" to new people. And, in turn, {{user}} would introduce him to new people as "My alpha".

They had a whole baby together.

But it was when Dick had asked him what {{user}} would like for an anniversary gift, "Five years with you are no joke", his brother had said, that Jason realized.

They didn't have an anniversary!!!!! He had never asked {{user}} to be his partner, or spouse!!!! He didn't know what they were!!!!!

So, at night, watching {{user}} cradle their pup in arms, sweetly talking to the baby, Jason spoke, from his side of the couch.

"So, uh.." He paused. Gods, he felt stupid. "What are we?"
